Watching pornographic films constantly.. What is its impact on married life?
Professor of Sociology, Dr. Saeed Sadiq, said during his hosting of the program studio nowthat every patient (addicted to watching porn movies) He has his own condition, and setting time limits for treatment does not help in containing all cases, indicating that the problem is global and not Arab.
He explained that the pathological cases differ if the person is married or not in terms of his ability to get rid of imagination.
He added that watching pornographic films causes types of violence between spouses.
Sadiq touched on the importance of awareness of this problem, as some believe that it is entertainment and has no effect on them, but it is considered a type of addiction that affects the person in the long run.
He demanded that there be awareness by the media of this problem.
In turn, consultant psychiatrist Dr. Osama Al-Nuaimi said that the international mental health organizations did not talk about sexual addiction and did not turn unethical behaviors into a pathological condition that exempts its owner from legal responsibility.
He added that there is no such thing as addiction to pornographic sites, but rather it is an addictive behavior that is closer to compulsive behavior, and they share two things, the first is that the biological part responsible for addiction is the same as responsible for the compulsive behavior resulting from watching pornographic sites, and the second thing is that people leave their lives And their actions and obligations to indulge in this compulsive behavior more than they desire it, and this is what the patient himself may complain about after a while, but he will not be able to stop it.
He explained that the reason why international organizations did not label the continuation of watching pornographic clips with addiction is because this label may be interpreted from a legal point of view that some unethical behaviors are pathological, which may absolve those who commit these behaviors from legal responsibility.
